State and local governments are under attack—and the numbers prove it. In 2024, 34% of these organizations were hit by ransomware, disrupting public services, exposing sensitive data, and costing millions in recovery efforts. Cybercriminals know that many agencies operate with limited budgets and aging infrastructure, making them vulnerable to attack.
However, DefenTec is here to change that. We provide the expertise and tools needed to keep government networks secure, with constant monitoring, quick recovery, and the right defenses to prevent attacks.
The Cyber Threats Targeting State and Local Agencies
Ransomware
Attackers exploit outdated systems and weak security measures to encrypt critical data and demand payment. Law enforcement agencies, public utilities, and municipal offices are frequent targets, with disruptions that can shut down entire city operations.
Phishing and Social Engineering Attacks
Hackers trick employees into clicking malicious links or sharing login credentials, often impersonating trusted government entities. Phishing attacks lead to data breaches, financial fraud, and unauthorized system access.
Insider Threats
Disgruntled employees, careless users, and compromised accounts pose significant risks. Without proper access controls and monitoring, sensitive state and local data can be leaked or misused.
Third-Party and Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
Government agencies work with vendors, contractors, and cloud services to operate efficiently. However, weak security in third-party systems can create backdoor entry points for cybercriminals to infiltrate government networks.
